Overview |
RDK-V IP provides a common method to manage video playback functions. The IP client device interface receives video content from an in-home media gateway device or from an external media server. RDK accelerates the deployment of next-gen video products and services and simplifies the customization of the application and user interface.

Features |
RDK is a community-based project that allows developers, vendors and cable operators to use a defined stack of software on one layer in order to provision set-top boxes and gateways. Unique features of RDK such as commitment to open source, speed and flexibility of RDK-based devices makes it stand out from the conventional settop software stacks.
The RDK‐V standardized stack provides a common method to manage complex video and management functions such as rendering, content, content security, device management, networking, & peripherals.
The RDK‐V Feature List is categorized by the below functions, Enhancements and new features are developed and contributed asynchronously by members of the RDK Community.
